      Hi,

      Is there a way to test if my content is readable while it is still in testing mode (meaning there obviously wont be a cache)

      Thanks!

        Well, text on a page is going to be readable by Google unless you hide it in some way. You can check by having a look at the Lynx text viewer:

          That is a cool tool that tells you about the quality of your website text, but I want to know if specific text on my page is readable by Google.

              I use this site when testing content:

              http://www.readability-score.com/

              You do have to copy and paste it in, but I like this because you can type it in on the fly and watch the score.
